Firecracker Rum Shots

Ahhhh…Independence Day. BBQ’s, games, friends, fireworks and rum shots? Why not! Here’s a recipe for Firecracker Rum Shots sure to spice up your 4th of July picnics. Got kids around? Make another round – sans the rum – (maybe a different color for easy identification) for the young ones and designated driver’s.

Glass shot glasses work well for very small parties (and look good in the pictures), but these 2 oz. Mini Red Solo Cups  work quite well for larger gatherings!
